When Humanae Vitae came out in July, 1968, I was preparing for my senior year in Catholic high school.

It was not until 1998, 30 years later, that I first became aware of the full teachings of the Church on virginity, marriage, natural family planning, and abortion and sterilization through pro-life literature.

Every bishop who wrote a letter protesting the HHS mandates is right. Freedom of religion must be protected.

In addition, every Catholic must know their faith/religion and live it and teach it.
